London Prisoner No.119 Charley Micklereed's Lamp Smash Tale
A fragmented 19th century tale follows Charles Micklereed, jailed for smashing Regent Street lamps to seek work, trading boastful bravado for charity and conversation with a fellow inmate about his past, his friend the Reverend Bamlett, and a looming clerical promotion sparked by a mistaken offer. The piece interweaves gossip of prison life, old college ties, and the arrival of a living offer.
